Beschreibung

Warren township in the southern portion of Herkimer County has been the scene of more than one gruesome event.  In January 1885, locals reeled in horror when disgruntled wife Roxalana Druse shot her husband and dismembered his corpse to incinerate it in a farm house stove. Her trial and hanging was followed up in May of 1901 with two murders in yet another farm house kitchen. John C. Wallis had allowed his ex-wife Arvilla to return home, one year after running off with hired farm hand Ben Hoyt. Wallis then rehired Hoyt and within months both Ben Hoyt and Arvilla Wallis were dead. Did Ben Hoyt murder Arvilla in cold blood or did John C. Wallis kill both of them?  Author James M. Greiner investigates a mysterious case of marriage, infidelity and multiple murders in turn of the century Herkimer County.

    The US racial wealth gap is large, and it's compounding. It's time to close it. Minding the Wealth Gap shines a light on people doing this important work and explores how you can get involved too. 
      
    Generations of public and private practices have left Black households $15 trillion and 400 years behind white households. Engaging storytelling backed by data, Minding the Wealth Gap highlights the wide-ranging impact of this lack of wealth parity. It explores the intricate connections between issues such as housing disparities, employment opportunities, education, investment barriers, social networks, and over-policing, all of which contribute to the staggering wealth gap between Black and white households. 
      
    Investment professional Cliff Goins IV shines a spotlight on nine Black entrepreneurs and executives who are actively working to bridge this chasm: 
      
    • Kedra Newsom Reeves is a highly accomplished management consultant by day, serving as a partner at the Boston Consulting Group, where she drives holistic solutions to wealth creation. 
    • Mark Wilson became an accidental entrepreneur, then used his platform to empower economic mobility for under-resourced team members. 
    • C-suite executive Selena Cuffe is a world traveler and a talented business leader. She is a poster child for the power of cultivating diverse talent. 
    • Lee Henderson leveraged his role as partner at Ernst & Young LLP to help launch a network of resources to accelerate the growth of underserved ethnic minority-owned businesses. 
    • Shundrawn Thomas champions underdogs and unleashes access to financial and human capital as CEO of The Copia Group, a private investment firm. 
    • Tony Wilkins, an advisor for Google for Startups, is an entrepreneur whisperer, imparting wisdom and money that they need to flourish. 
    • Corporate lawyer turned entrepreneur George Fatheree III advocates for real estate justice and turbocharges home and land ownership. 
    • Small business banker Steve Hall locates the diamonds in the rough, putting capital to work in overlooked communities. 
    • Serial entrepreneur and sage Robert Blackwell Jr. is compelling large organizations to "just do business" and free the enterprises. 
      
    These "gap closers" have much to teach us, having pioneered initiatives such as empowering economic mobility, advocating for homeownership, and championing economic parity. Minding the Wealth Gap is both a powerful catalyst and a call to arms, urging America's entrepreneurs, executives, government officials, and other leaders to join these efforts and take meaningful steps toward a more equitable future for all.

    Creativity is often seen as the driving force behind progress and innovation, but it can be difficult to define due to its fluid and multifaceted nature. At its core, creativity is the ability to generate novel ideas, solutions, or artistic expressions that are both original and valuable. It is not confined to any one discipline and can manifest in countless forms, whether in art, science, business, or everyday life. While many people may perceive creativity as an inherent trait, research suggests that it can also be nurtured and developed through practice and the right environment. This chapter explores the definition of creativity and the reasons why it is so crucial in both personal and professional realms. 
      
    The importance of creativity extends far beyond individual expression. It plays a central role in solving complex problems, adapting to new challenges, and envisioning future possibilities. In the workplace, creativity fuels innovation, allowing businesses to stay competitive and responsive to the rapidly changing demands of global markets. In education, creative thinking is essential for fostering critical thinking and lifelong learning. Creativity can also promote emotional well-being, offering a means of self-expression and problem-solving when faced with personal challenges.

    A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women’s voices to be heard. 
    Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea. 
    Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip. 
    All-too-often dismissed as the past-time of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there’s more to gossip than meets the eye. In today’s world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure. 
    Tracing gossip’s roots from old wives’ tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Belief asks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out? 
    A joyous reclamation of women’s words, this book is for anyone who’s ever uttered the words, ‘You won’t believe this…’
